What’s happening and why?

The VulnDB API currently supports TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. In order to protect the security and privacy of our clients, VulnDB is dropping support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 on February 20, 2020.

How am I affected?

If you don’t ensure your application is using TLS 1.2, the VulnDB API will refuse your application’s requests beginning February 20, 2020.

To check your web browser:

Although most major web browsers, as well as many large technology vendors, have dropped or intend to drop support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 in early 2020, you can check your active version by navigating to: https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check.
